79 F250
One of my good friends is purchasing an F250. It has no heart, was a 460. He wants to put another 460 in it. He will use it somewhat as a daily driver and to eventually pull boats and other trailers. I'm a Chevy guy and don't know where to find Ford stuff. Looked at Jegs a little and didn't find much in the way of replacement/performance parts. Maybe I was just in the wrong place. Anyhow, where do you guys find engine stuff for you trucks? We want to make it reliable and start easily. Is there and easy/cheap swap to get away from points distributor? What headers, intake manifold and carb should we look at?
Thanks for your help!

The factory parts will work great for making it tow good and reliable. Concerning a carb, this THREAD is about a factory 4v carb that gets good power and mileage on a 460. Aftermarket Ford parts aren't as easy to find as GM - but Summit and Jegs are good places. Might want to try asking in the 460 engine forum on this site, you'd get more specifics there...
